I just stumbled upon someone asking how much cash he can carry on himself without a risk of a police officer taking it away. Then when I scrolled through comments it sounded like a police officer can decide to take away your money and NEVER EVER give it back!
Is that actually true??? I mean, the idea that police officer can take your money if they decide you have “too much” on you is insane already. But even if so, there is no way you can’t then go to police station or something and get it back!

It’s actually pretty common in most countries but the US took it to the next level and basically gave the police the authority to make such decisions (absolutely unthinkable in most other countries).
Pair that with a poorly accessible (read: overly complicated and convoluted, thus expensive) legal system and it’s such an issue in the US and not elsewhere.
